Exotek21Exotek 210-series alloy topshaft & direct spur mount0Topshaft

Exotek introduce an alloy topshaft and a direct spur mount for the Team Durango 210-series buggies and trucks. Starting with the topshaft, the part is machined from 7075 aluminium and weights in at only 3.9 grams compared to 9.2 grams of the stock shaft. The part substantially reduces the rotational mass and improves both the acceleration and braking performance of the vehicle. Coming hard anodised and polished the shaft is a direct replacement for the stock part.

Updated Team C TC02C buggy coming?

Team C recently revitalised the TC02C 4-gear mid motor buggy with the introduction of a gear differential conversion kit and now the proactive Asian company shows a first image of a TC02C “Evo” bodyshell. It is understood that many Team C team drivers requested a more “conventional” mid motor buggy as the company’s TM2 in-line mid motor buggy excels on very high grip surfaces but the ever present torque steering, due to its longitudinally mounted motor, gives the buggy a life of its own on medium-bite tracks and this is where the TC02C (Evo) buggy would kick in. Previously the Evo range marked the hop-up variants of existing buggies so you can expect the TC02C Evo to sport a variety of performance and durability enhancing options. We bring you more information on what appears to be Team C’s next project as soon as they become available.

PSM B-Max4 III shorty LiPo chassis conversion kit

Yesterday we reported about PSM’s shorty LiPo battery conversion kit for the Yokomo B-Max4 III and today the German company officially announce the set’s release. The conversion builds around a 2.5mm semi-gloss carbon fibre chassis that offers added stiffness and better scratch resistance than PSM’s well-known glossy carbon and it is designed around the use of the so called “shorty” 2S LiPo battery packs. A special feature is the airmount system for the battery pack, basically a “floating battery” mount that does not affect the flex of the chassis for equal cornering characteristics in both left and right bends. The battery mount weights in at only 25g and an included transversal carbon chassis stiffener optimises the flex characteristic of the chassis. The chassis conversion is designed for low to medium-grip tracks and it is available from now on.
